For the last year or so, we've been using Lefty's Seasoning, which I learned about from another Brethren here in Qtalk. This stuff is like crack.
The Missus marinates the chicken first with a bit of water and some Lefty's for about one hour. Then, she puts the chicken in a ziplock bag with some more lefty's and gets the chicken coated, then removes the chicken and lets it sit out for 10 mins. Then, back in the bag to get a second coating, then out of the bag again, for an additional 10 mins, then into a hot cast iron skillet with enough oil to cover 50-60% of the chicken when the oil reaches 300 degrees. Once the chicken is in the oil, you'll want to turn the heat up as the chicken will cause the oil temp to drop. Fry the chicken in batches(start with dark meat first) so you don't overcrowd the skillet.
Best Fried Chicken I've had in my life!
